Abstract Background/Aims: Identifying the best method to estimate the glomerular filtration
rate (GFR) in bariatric surgery patients has important implications for the clinical care of …

Rationale & Objective Evaluation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is challenging in adults
undergoing bariatric surgery because creatinine and cystatin C levels are influenced by …

Background: Identifying methods to accurately measure the glomerular filtration rate (GFR)
in obese individuals without kidney overt kidney disease is necessary to understanding the …

The epidemic of obesity parallels that of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Obesity worsens the
course of CKD, mainly defined by an abnormal glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Patients with …

Background: Cystatin C is considered an alternative to creatinine to estimate glomerular
filtration rate (GFR). However, studies have reported that increased adiposity is associated …

Context Glomerular hyperfiltration may represent a direct pathogenetic link between obesity
and kidney disease. The most widely used methods to estimate creatine clearance such as …

Background Obesity is an established risk factor for renal disease and for disease
progression. Therefore, an accurate determination of renal function is necessary in this …

Objective To assess the impact of obesity, glucose tolerance, and weight loss on renal
function, we measured serum creatinine and cystatin C and estimated glomerular filtration …

Background: Cystatin C (CysC) is an endogenous marker of glomerular filtration rate (GFR)
that is claimed to be unaffected by body composition. In this study, we tested this …

Background: Obesity and overweight are strong independent risk factors for chronic kidney
disease (CKD). Using serum creatinine-based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) …
